I still lean forward?
I would be more worried if a wasp flew in my jacket, and I did a little dance to see if I could get it out. 
Or if you get a wheel stuck in a pothole, you get thrown out of the board, nosedive and then get rolled over by your esk8 because you incidentaly activated full throtle
No problem, use the standard issue arduino wasp proximity sensor to automatically increase the ramping time to 3s when the wasp enters your jacket

I joined all the enclosure segments into a chain by forming a U shape of fiberglass inside each flex joint.
The new assembly gets glued onto the tracing of the deck I did earlier, and filleted. The cardboard gets trimmed to fit the deck properly afterwards.

Here’s my take on the modular battery: 3D printed end caps hold a few female bullet connectors (heat set with a soldering iron) at the end of each P-group, which can be soldered to the nickel tabs. The male bullets will get glued onto the enclosure and screwed in place, and the whole thing will get compressed with foam. The layout of the bullet connectors is asymmetrical to prevent the group from getting plugged in backwards.

I would agree!
That battery connection is sweet!
And any man that isn’t scared of a bit of fibreglass is a friend of mine!

It landed and then took off again. I was reciprocating awkwardness.

Unfortunately the tight weave fiberglass still refused to cooperate. I expected wrinkles going around the curves of the enclosure, but I was hoping to at least get the wood panels clear. Nope, there’s a few wrinkles (probably my fault during bagging), and some dry spots (that’s just the fiberglass being annoying)
So I just hit the entire thing with bed liner 
Ahhhhh, what’s another 1.5 mm of ground clearance between friends? The wood really brings it together
